POCO began as a sub-brand of Xiaomi back in 2018. Its first
phone, the POCO F1 was a flagship killer since it came with top-notch specs
with a surprisingly low-price tag. The brand did not launch any phone in 2019
and git returned as an independent company last year. While POCO launched POCO
F2 Pro (rebranded Redmi K30) and POCO F3 (rebranded Redmi K40) in global
markets, these POCO phones were not available in India. Today, the company
announced the POCO F3 GT smartphone in India as the first F-series phone after
the POCO F1. As expected, it is a rebadged edition of China’s Redmi K40 Gaming
Edition that was announced a couple of months back in China. Nevertheless, it
packs some enticing such as a 120Hz AMOLED panel, Dimensity 1200 chip,
64-megapixel triple cameras, RGB lighting, and gaming buttons.
